    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives.

    Yeah, been kind of wondering about this. Right now I'm trying to figure out if I should DL it for the 360 or wait for the PC release. Not sure if the PC version is supposed to be more in depth than a 360 version, but I'd have to almost assume (or at least hope) so.

    so far ive heard its mostly feels like just a tech demo of a next gen black and white and everything in the trailers is literaly all you can do- only without the fast forward points to move generation ahead.
    So its technically superb, as a videogame? it looks less engrossing than spore.

    I bought this on Saturday night and spent ALL day yesterday playing it.
    I absolutely love it and i am seriously hooked.
    Its a strange hybrid (for me anyway) of genres. You reshape the landscape using godly powers to enable your tribe to flourish. I've only played the story mode so far but each level is like a puzzle that you have to work out how to help your tribe set up new villages by totem poles and then ultimately escape the land/level. You fight off tsunami's, fires and moving ground but also use them for your strategy to build and open paths for the tribe. As you progress stories are revealed to you that help you use the terrain, powers and wildlife. All of which can be destructive or helpful depending on how you use them.
    It works well on the xbox and the controller seems perfect for the gameplay.
    The body is the instrument on which imagination plays.
